A element source has a decayed constant of 13.6pico per second. Calculate the half life of this element. ​

Respuesta :

Answer:

5.1 x 10¹⁰s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Decay constant  = 13.6 x 10⁻¹²/s

Unknown:

Half life of the element  = ?

Solution:

From the decay constant, we can find the half-life of this radioactive element.

  Half-life  = [tex]\frac{0.693}{decay constant}[/tex]  

     Half-life  = [tex]\frac{0.693}{13.6 x 10^{-12} }[/tex]   = 5.1 x 10¹⁰s
